Subject: Participating in the Identifying Program Components and Practices that Influence SNAP Application Processing Timeliness Rates Study (SNAP Timeliness Study)
To: [Local SNAP Agency Manager]
Dear [Local SNAP Agency Manager],
Recently [FNS Regional SNAP Director] wrote to inform me that FNS has retained the services of WRMA, supported by IMPAQ International, to conduct the SNAP Timeliness Study to help identify the factors, practices, and processes that influence SNAP application processing timeliness. We all recognize the importance of this issue and understand that untimely processing of SNAP applications exposes vulnerable families to greater hardship, and contributes to a stressful environment for caseworkers and supervisors. An information sheet describing this study in more detail is attached.
We have provided the study team with your name and email address, and you will be contacted by [name of study coordinator], study coordinator for this study with additional details. Please provide [her] with every assistance as [she] works with you to conduct this important study. [Name of study coordinator] will be happy to respond to any of your questions.
Sincerely,
[Name of State SNAP Director]
